This is a great book. A kid who struggles on his baseball team travels back in time using a Honus Wagner baseball card. He goes back to when Honus was in the world series against Ty Cobb and the detroit tigers. He learns a valuable lesson there too.

for the 1909 World Series, he learns more about baseball and more about life.

Such a fun read for a baseball fan! Not only was there tons of baseball trivia and information, the story was fast paced and exciting. I think that the players who are more well known (ie. Jackie Robinson) would be a great way to introduce this series to boys who love baseball even though this is the first one.

throughout the story. He struggled with deciding if he should let the woman know he found an expensive baseball card in her attic. I loved this book because it included time travel, historical fiction and dramatic moments. My heart stopped when the other baseball player ripped up all the Honus baseball cards Joe was given. I also really liked the themes throughout the story. It would be a fun read aloud.

This is another baseball ebook I borrowed from the library to read to my son that I ended up liking more than he did. The story is the first in a series in which a boy named Joey discovers he can use baseball cards to travel through time and meet famed players. In this case, it's Pittsburgh great

Honus Wagner who takes Joey to the 1909 World Series and even gets him in the game. It's a great fantasy which touches on issues of integrity and honesty. Wagner comes across just a bit too perfect, but then again all accounts have him as a great guy. A good read for kids who like sports from around the ages 7 to 11.
